Giant 'Narwvyin Tulips 
A VIGOROUS RACE of self-colored Tulips, distinguished by their strong and tall stems and their shapely flowers. 
To all intents and purposes they are Breeder Tulips. They flower simultaneously with the Breeder, Cottage and 
Hybrid Tulips during the month of May, with the exception of far southern sections, where they bloom during April. 
The varieties named in our list have been especially selected as being distinct, showy and beautiful. Unsatisfactory 
varieties have been eliminated, so that you need have no hesitation in choosing the colors you require, as all are good. 
We have been awarded many gold medals, cups and other highest honors for superiority, including the gold medal 
offered by President Coolidge, the gold medal of the Garden Club of America, the gold cup of the Holland Bulb 
Exporters Association, the gold medal presented by Her Majesty, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and a 
special gold medal at the great Spring Flower Show in Holland. 
ADORABLE. A beautiful Tulip typical of the giant Dar- 
wins with its large cup, almost square, poised on tall, 
erect stems. Its color is a rich old rose shading to a 
lighter hue, a cameo-pink, along the edges. Whether 
growing in formal beds over a ground cover of Forget- 
me-nots or English Daisies, or whether planted inform- 
ally in groups in the border near Dogwood or Lilac, this 
Tulip will always elicit admiration. Height 30 inches. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 19. 
AFTERGLOW (Katherine Havemeyer). The beautiful 
color of this fine Tulip is a striking association of rose 
and orange with salmon lights; it might be called a soft 
apricot-orange tinged with pink, with a light orange edge. 
This superb variety will make a gorgeous effect if planted 
in masses with a ground cover of Myosotis, or rising out 
of a mass of Cheiranthus Allioni. Height 30 inches. $1.30 
for 10; $10.50 per 100. 
ANNIE SPEELMAN. One of the most pleasing of the 
white Darwin Tulips. An enormous flower of the purest 
white with white base and anthers. It opens at first in a 
delicate cream-white, turning with age into a pure white. 
The flower has long-lasting quality and is carried on a 
straight, perfect stem. Height 30 inches. $1.60 for 10; 
$13.50 per 100. 
ANTON MAUVE. A fine tall flower of generous cup 
shape. Its darkest tone is Bishop’s violet, but it pales to 
lilac and turns to silver at the edges. Beautiful among 
Bleeding Hearts and such a pale yellow Iris as “Half- 
dan,” with a few “Inglescombe Pink” Tulips or massed 
with Iberis sempervirens or Cheiranthus Allioni. Does 
as well in semi-shade as in full sunshine; wherever 
planted its fine bearing will bring character to any care- 
ful grouping. Height 32 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 
per 100. 
ARISTOCRAT. A giant among the new Darwin Tulips. 
Very large flowers of deep rose-pink and carried on 
strong, erect stems, a real exhibition Tulip: Beautiful 
rising from a clump of Bleeding Hearts. Height 36 inches. 
$2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100. 
BLUE EAGLE. Deep violet-purple with blue base. A 
large bloom held on tall, erect stem. Height 28 inches.

violet edged heliotrope with a white base. Strong and 
vigorous grower. Petals are pointed and slightly reflexed. 
Height 30 inches. $1.85 for 10; $16.00 per 100. See illus- 
tration, page 22.

dark blue center. A wonderful Tulip, large, graceful, 
carried on a fine strong stem. Height 30 inches. $1.75 
for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
CAROLINE TESTOUT. This very unusual and beautiful 
Tulip was named after the well known Rose of that name. 
The color of this Tulip is even more beautiful, a soft rose 
with a large white base. Of perfect shape and it has ex- 
ceptional lasting qualities. A Tulip with a great future. 
Very scarce. Height 28 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 per 
100. See illustration, page 5. 
CHARLES NEEDHAM. Possibly the best of the red Dar- 
win Tulips. Flowers are of large size, of brilliant red, 
and carried on a strong stem. The color holds well in sun- 
shine. It combines very well with mauve and white Inter- 
mediate Irises, and a most lovely picture can be created 
by using Iberis sempervirens as a ground cover. A fine 
exhibition Tulip. Height 28 inches. $1.60 for 10; $13.50 
per 100. 
CITY OF HAARLEM. A dependable, handsome Darwin 
of great substance and of a fiery cardinal-red. The deep 
violet base of this Tulip, outlined in white, gives it a 
striking effect when open. It is admirably at home among 
all the lighter colored spring flowers, such as the hardy 
Alyssum, “Silver Queen,” with gay effects in the garden 
or border. Height 31 inches. $1.35 for 10; $11.00 per 
100. 
CLARA BUTT. Lovely pure pink Tulip that should 
be in quantity in every garden; of a delightful 
color that will go with most anything. In some 
lights an elusive soft salmon suffusion in this fine 
flower adds to the interest of this beautiful 
blossom. Would make a striking effect massed 
against purple Barberry. Height 28 inches. $1.35 
for 10; $11.00 per 100.
